Houston Community College- ADN program FALL 2016 Applications

Published

I see the trend of starting a thread for each new application period and did not see one for the FALL 2016. I am applying for the FALL 2016 program which has a deadline of June 1st. Nervous but excited. My plan is to get accepted and if not to apply to other ADN programs the following Spring 2017. My main reason to apply at HCC was:1) it was in-district and 2.) it offered evening classes.

I am not sure if anyone else has attended any of the recent info sessions but they make the evening program sound confusing. From what I gathered it was based on class availability so there may be times when you will have to take morning classes. I would find this difficult because I am going to be doing the forbidden; school and work.

I have yet to take my HESI but I am one class away from completing my pre-reqs. Well, hopefully we can share more thoughts and questions on what is to come. Good Luck everyone!

Email from HCC today:

Good afternoon Lupe,

Thank you for your interest in the ADN program at HCCS - Coleman. This concern will have to be referred to the ADN Department.

News that may impact your academic planning: Due to pending board decision on accreditation, HCCS will be notified in February whether the ADN program maintains or loses accreditation. If the program loses accreditation, no additional students may enter the program. If the program maintains accreditation, the application steps will most likely change to meet board recommendations.

Please feel free to email with your concerns you may have about this update. At this time, Coleman Advisors recommend students to apply to multiple nursing schools. HCCS will continue accepting applications from students and notify all applicants of the decision and how it will impact them.

Best regards,

Rosa Nguyen

Academic Advisor I John B. Coleman, M.D. College for Health Sciences I Houston Community College

The Texas BON meeting agenda (available to the public on the BON website) indicates that the HCC-ADN program approval status will be dropped to Conditional as of end of January 2016. "Conditional" approval means the program cannot admit new students for the Fall 2016 semester.

I was planning to apply as well and went crazy when Rosa sent me the email. Their pass rate has been declining so no wonder. I am stumped because I need an evening program and there are not very many to choose from.

Im heart broken. I need to check that in person.. Are you still gonna apply for fall??

Well they cannot admit any new students until they meet 2 conditions: 1) allow students enough time for a background check and 2) bring their pass rate to 80% or above.

My question is: When are the new pass rate calculations done? It says time period of Sept 2015- Oct 2016.... If i am assuming correctly then that means no Fall 2016...
